U+10691 "𐚑" Linear A Sign A357 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐚑
U+10691 "𐚑" Linear A Sign A357 is a symbol from the Linear A script, a writing system used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. This specific sign, cataloged as A357 in the standard classification, remains undeciphered, as Linear A itself has not been fully translated and is thought to represent a language distinct from the later Mycenaean Greek recorded in Linear B. The character is part of the Unicode Linear A block, which was added to the standard to preserve and allow digital representation of this historically significant script, offering researchers and linguists a means to study and encode these ancient symbols in modern computing environments.
